Where are they made and from where is the steel sourced? Because it has been shown that almost all Chinese steel contains toxic waste.

The posting noted BPA and toxin free. Some buyers, around 8, mentioned the lip rusting and 1 or 2 noted odd taste. From my perspective, first there is no such thing as SS being rust proof. if you get water under to rolled rim there is always a possibility of rust certainly if the drink that may have salt or sugar is not flushed out. I have never had a problem with rust or an off taste. Did and will rate them 5 stars. at the end of the day, stainless steel or glass are better options than any other material.

Since it was made in China I did not expect to find one, and being phsyic or is it psyco. I knew that! Looks like most of the garbage plastics and I would throw it there. 2.0 most plastics are VERY QUESTIONABLE and I try to never use them.

Good question. And another one to go with that question is "Where is it made? the products made in China is junk.........

Yeap, made in China. It's also Chinese steel based on the type. Overall, not that impressed, I've had better Chinese-made knives.

This is what it says on their website: "Our products are designed in California, and responsibly made in China, India and Taiwan in facilities that are working toward green practices and supportive of our mission to reduce waste. We made considerable effort to keep production in the U.S., while still making our products affordable to a broad market, but we found it very difficult to compete with these countries in both quality and price. Sometimes it can be easier to find manufacturing overseas that conforms to stringent safety standards because many overseas companies support other countries (like Europe) that have far stricter regulations than the U.S."

Most are from China, try looking in kitchen & type wok you would be amazed too if you search other sponsors what one sees. It all depends on the type of iron it is made of too

My china, which in my opinion is of poor quality, does not state its place of manufacture. I find that odd. The china is very susceptible to scratching from silverware and requires cleaning with bar keeper's friend. I also find that troubling.

Check out the Spoonk website for detailed information. Part of the materials are sourced in China, but it seems they've made efforts to ensure they're the best they could get, and they're organic according to the information provided. Also from the web site: "Designed and assembled in Canada and USA with 70% USA produced parts and 30% imported components."

These are made in China. They appear to be decent quality stainless, clean easily and are supposedly made in an environmentally friendly supervised factory. I do have to say that I needed a new lid handle insert because after using it, it has deformed and they no longer fit together, and have written their "customer service" 5 times and gotten no where. Basically NON existent customer service or warranty support. Just be aware

Are they using imported protein and veggies or are they also grown in the US? I know it says made in the US but that could be the actual processing of the food. I am wary of getting filthy garbage from China, since they often poison pets when they aren't too busy eating them.

Normally, any metal China exports contains lead and other trace elements. Shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't go in your mouth, like anything related to plumbing.

Unfortunately, all the answers miss your point, and I don't know how you can find the truth. I agree with your concerns about the ingredients, particularly with the history of some Chinese mfg providing products containing dangerous ingredients (to people as well as pets.)However, the same applies with many products on your store shelves "made in USA". We can thank our FDA, handmaiden to the food industry, far less effective than much of the EU, for that. I don't have an any more useful than the others :(

Good question: All I see is that they claim all their components are manufactured by leading manufacturers. So, who knows where they are made!

get on naturalnews.com and do some research! hemp, pea, and chia don't have the high heavy metal content and its because all of the rice protein from china is being watered with water that is 80 percent more toxic than even their government allows. so when Mike from naturalnews.com discovered this in his lab he blew the whole industry up

It looks like the materials originate from the US but they do outsource manufacture, possibly to China. Not a big surprise.

There is no info on product or packaging as to country of manufacture. They come shipped from California. Very high quality. 7 gauge zinc plated steel. Does not appear to be cheap or even imported, to me.
